Choosing the Right Type of Door

Before you can pick out the perfect door for your business you will need to consider the variety of entrance options available to you. At DRS Entrance Systems we can supply and install a variety of automatic and manual doors, including:

• Swing doors
• Sliding doors
• Folding doors
• Low energy swing doors (automatic)

Our doors are suitable for both commercial and industrial use, ensuring that every business owner can find the perfect entrance solution for their business property.

Picking the Perfect Door for Your Business Property

It goes without saying that different doors will suit different businesses, and it is essential that you choose the right door for your business property.

• Swing and Sliding Doors - Swing and sliding doors are the most popular choice for business owners, as they quickly and conveniently provide a great entrance to anyone passing through the property. Swing and sliding doors can be fitted to most commercial properties, including shops, offices and other public buildings such as schools and hospitals.

However, if you have concerns about the space available for your entrance, then you might want to consider investing in a folding door.

• Folding Doors - Folding doors are ideal for business properties with limited entrance space. Although not as popular as swing or sliding doors (due to the higher purchasing cost), they do provide an automatic option for business owners with smaller entrances and limited space. Folding doors are known as “The Space Saving Door”.

Many business owners want to ensure that their business is accessible to everyone, including disabled people. If you want to ensure that your entrance is inviting to disabled customers, consider investing in a low energy door.

• Low Energy Doors - Low energy swing doors are ideal because they can be easily pushed or pulled open by physically able people, and they can be easily opened by disabled people with the use of carefully positioned push pads.

A low energy door incorporates features which easily enable the elderly, frail or disabled user to gain entry. Generally low energy doors are intended for internal use. Low energy doors move very slowly to limit the kinetic energy during operation, which in turn limits the impact should it come into contact with anything or anyone.

A true low energy door is not really suitable for regular use by able bodied persons due to the extremely slow operation.

Choosing Your Door

It’s well worth knowing that all automatic door entranceways supplied by DRS comply with the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act); ensuring that your visitors can safely use our entrances and door operators.

If you’re still not sure which door is right for your business then don’t worry. Simply contact the friendly and helpful team at DRS Entrance Systems and our personnel will be happy to advise you on the variety of options.

Combining Practicality with Security

By day you want to be confident that your door creates an inviting entrance, but by night you want to be confident that your door will help to keep unwanted visitors out of your business property.

All of the doors provided by DRS Entrance Systems can be combined with security systems to ensure that your commercial property is safe and secure.
